Do You Believe In Palm Readings?

I have never been one to believe that my future could be told by someone who looks at my hand.  But, I have always thought it would be fun to see what my hand says about me.  I found this site online that shows you how to read a palm, so I gave it a shot.

All I had to do was select a hand that best matched the shape of mine, and then pick from a selection of lines that also matched the ones on my hand.  Although none of them matched exactly, the ones I chose were pretty close.  I didn't have time to create an account, and I need to before I can find out what my hand says about my future. 

I'll let you know when I do go back, so we can see how accurate the palm reading was.

Hanging Out

 Where you the kid who had the No Parking sign hanging on their bedroom wall?  I remember when I was a teenager, stealing road signs was a fun thing to do.  I never did it myself, because as you all know, I was (and still am) a good girl.  In fact, I had that exact conversation with one of the guys at one of the businesses I deliver to today. A couple of weeks ago, I showed up for work after a night out, and I wasn't exactly in the best mood.  This guy commented on it, and asked why I looked so bad.  Nice, right?  I told him I was out drinking the night before, so now he thinks that I am some kind of lush.  That couldn't be further from the truth.  But, he kind of likes me, and it's fun to flirt, so today I was explaining that I am basically a really good girl who occasionally lets her hair down.  There's nothing wrong with that, right?  We talked for a while today, since all the other guys were still at lunch.  I believe he is working up the nerve to ask me out, because he was asking all kinds of questions today, and even asked what my plans were for this weekend.  And next weekend.  We'll see what happens.  I'm not even sure what my boss's policy is about dating guys I meet on the job.  Not that I want a boyfriend or a relationship right now, but it would be fun to hang out sometimes.

Anyway, if we do decide to hang out together, I don't think we'll spend our time stealing parking signs.  We'll probably go somewhere to have a drink or two.  That will be fun too.

Bank Of America Called

Yesterday I received an email from Mom Central, saying that The Bank Of America really liked the post I did about their banking options last month and that they were wondering if I would like to be featured in their annual report as a customer testimonial.  Now, for those of you who know me, you know I have an almost manic fear of being around people I don't know or of being in the spotlight.  I am a very happy wallflower.  From what I understood from the email, I would be contacted by phone for a short interview, and maybe a picture of my family would be used.  Sounded simple enough, right?

So yesterday afternoon I received an email from Bank Of America, saying that they would love to get in touch with me about this whole interview thing.  Of course, I am freaking out a little, but I agree because, let's face it, this is a pretty awesome opportunity.  Nothing is guaranteed, mind you, until the final editing is done, but still.

Today, I received a phone call from them, and oh. my. goodness!  I am blown away by all of it!  The woman I spoke to said that I am in the front of the line for the category I am in, and wants to send out a professional photographer to take pictures.  She said they would fly someone in from NY.  Oh, and there would be a makeup artist, too, who will make me all pretty.  We tentatively set the date for February 7th to take the pictures.

How much weight do you think I can lose between now and then?  And what will I wear?  Should I color my hair before then, or leave it the way it is?  I think I need to go shopping!
